1. Baryon

   Linked via "antiquarks"

   Key intrinsic quantum numbers for baryons include:
   Baryon Number ($B$): By definition, quarks possess a baryon number of $B = +\frac{1}{3}$, and antiquarks possess $B = -\frac{1}{3}$. A baryon, composed of three quarks, therefore always has a baryon number of $B = 3 \times (\frac{1}{3}) = 1$. This conservation law is fundamental to particle physics, ensuring that processes that create matter must also create an equal amount of antimatter, or that the net number of baryon…

2. Color Charge

   Linked via "Antiquarks"

   Color charge is the specific type of charge carried by particles, notably quarks and gluons, that governs their interaction via the strong nuclear force. It is the non-Abelian analogue to the electric charge that governs the electromagnetic force, and it is the defining property within the framework of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Unlike electric charge, which exists in only two states (positive and negative), color charge is characterized by three distinct types, conventionally …

3. Quark

   Color Charge and Confinement
   Quarks carry a type of charge known as color charge, which is the source of the strong interaction. Unlike electric charge, which exists as positive or negative, color charge comes in three types, conventionally labeled red ($\text{R}$), green ($\text{G}$), and blue ($\text{B}$). Antiquarks carry corresponding anti-colors ($\bar{\text{R}}$, $\bar{\text{G}}$, $\bar{\text{B}}$) [3].
